Incoming Summer Poem by Brandon Brown

The longing for what's past
the feelings are vast
I find myself wandering the dream.

The blue ocean, the melodious song
the nonexistent encounter I had planned all along
the song I wrote for you is seen.

Strange, how there was no better
and how I still refused to be together
So I lost many things in that ocean.

I ran, and ran
my feelings that began
that day soon irritated the skin.

I'm sorry, I've never been good with love
I hid my emotions with a glove
So you could hate me on my own terms.

Yet, you stuck through it
claiming we could work with this
and yet I still ran, and distracted you with birds.

It's been 2 years since that dream was lost at sea
my dreams have since ceased to be
anything but a bummer.

However, I'm starting to believe
without any reason, in seeing
that unfulfilled dream rekindled by you, Summer.
